This Stins was near the city of Sloten. Map of Sloten from the mid 17th century (the dwinger on the far left)

Origin The building was possibly built in the 13th century. History The city of Sloten was established along the trade route from Bentheim to Stavoren in the thirteenth century. Where this road was crossed by another important road, a fortified house was built that controlled this intersection. This house was probably built by the Harinxmas or an ancestor of them.

In the fifteenth century the Stins were inhabited in any case by descendants of Haring Donia (circa 1400), who called themselves Haringsma and later Harinxma. Watze Bockes Haringsma lived in the house in the mid-fifteenth century. A descendant of him, Homme Harinxma, who was married to Doedt van Mockema, was probably the last resident. They later live in the Sjuxmastate in Waaxens. The descendants of Homme and Doedt started calling themselves Van Harinxmathoe Slooten.

The first map of the small town of Sloten is made around 1560, but the fortified house has already disappeared. The Stins must have been a tall or wide brick structure. The house may have served as a toll house: as a checkpoint for paying the passenger charges. It is also possible, however, that a separate toll booth has stood at the intersection of road and canal, near the bridge. During various sieges of Sloten, which regularly occurred because Sloten was a strategic settlement, the stins had provided sufficient protection. But with a siege in 1523 it was partially demolished and completely dismantled in 1531 by order of Charles V. Around the place where the Van Harinxmastins had been, a large bastion came as part of the Sloten fortress. This was then called Harinxmaschans.
